HOOK FOR TOASTING, 800p.

SBECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 543,916, dated August6, 1895.

Application filed March 18, 1895.

To all whom. it may con/carm- Be it known that I, J osEPH WHABFE, asubject of the Queen of Great Britain, and a resident of -Wimb1edon,London, in the county of Surrey, England, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Hooks for Toasting or the Like, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact specification thereof.

Thisinvention relates to a hook for use When 'toasting and likepurposes, ,and the same is carried out as follows, referencebeing had tothe annexed drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of myhook. Fig. 2 shows the blank from which same is formed, and Fig. 3 aperspective View showing hooks in position for toasting.

a is a piece of metal,'such as sheet iron or steel, in which the tongueor arm d is cut or stamped out and bent up, as shown, having notches oin same, one end of the piece a being bent so as to form a hook b.

` The hooks are hung upon the bar fof a grate, Fig. 3, and a rod orskewer g, oarrying the article to be toasted or cooked, is placed SerialNo. 542,279. (Na model.)

upon the arm d, the distance from the fire being regulated by thenotohes c. It will be seen that the distance between the hooks can bevaried to suit the width of the grate upon which they are used.

The dotted lines marked e represent the position of the cut-out orstamped tongue or arm.

Having thus described I claim is- A hook for toasting formed from ablank; a tongue or arm cut out and bent up; notches upon said arm; aturned over or bent end upon said blank, in combination with a rod or'skewer engaging on said arm substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this25th day of January, 1895.
